At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, in the conference room of Gaia Corporation in London's Financial Street, the new Mayor of London, the Speaker of Tottenham District, and representatives of all parties involved in the construction of the new stadium gathered, who were troubled by Andy's ultimatum. .

"... Andy, my friend, the budget for the 2012 Olympics has almost tripled. We are now under increasing pressure to cut costs as the recession strains government finances and the £20m allocation is already ours Great sincerity from the City of London, you don't know what I want to do right now is to cancel the Olympics, damn it, they left me a mess..."

Boris Johnson, the new mayor of London with messy blond hair, looked at Andy Smith, who looked indifferent and indifferent, and began to cry.

"Mayor, I have been fooled by you until now. At the beginning, I wanted to change the place to build a new stadium. You told me to stay in Tottenham. Now tell me that the conditions you once promised can’t be fulfilled, okay, I think it’s unlucky to waste so much time, I will find a way to raise money, buy land, and build the head office by myself.”

The corners of Andy's mouth turned up, and the sarcasm in his tone unexpectedly made the corners of the negotiators' mouths twitch. When he saw that Boris had brought almost all the representatives of the relevant parties, he knew that his coercion had made these people ready to compromise. Naturally, he would not lose the chain at this time and not kill them ruthlessly. , is already very face-saving.

"Hehe, I still say the same thing. If you want us to continue the original plan to renovate the stadium, you will be responsible for the 30 million pounds of government funding for urban transformation, 300 million pounds of guaranteed low-interest loans, and the land around White Hart Lane. You buy the net land in your hands, so that you can increase your financial income.

If yes, we can close the deal now, if it's difficult, we can just change the plan, everyone is busy, don't waste time, Mayor Johnson, this is my bottom line, all of you know very well that it has become a London oblivion Zone, how much we Spurs will lose by staying in the Tottenham zone.

To put it bluntly, I would really like to move the new stadium to Fulham, after all, that is where we White Lilies are based, and it is more profitable. "

"No! Andy, there will be riots in Tottenham because of this, they will... ahem, well, well, you win, today's meeting, all parties involved.

Your Tottenham District Council is responsible for the acquisition of land around the stadium. Our city council will allocate 30 million pounds, and Barclays Bank will be responsible for 300 million pounds of low-interest loans. As the mayor, I really hope that Tottenham can be restored. Recovery, not the big trouble in London it is now! "

Thinking of Tottenham, all the Londoners present wryly smiled and shook their heads, and the government officials even looked ugly. It can be said that there is the biggest powder keg in London.

Although central London is only 20 minutes away by Tube from Tottenham, it's a whole other world. Because there are a large number of ethnic minorities living in Africa and Turkey, there are the most immigrants, and the unemployment rate is the highest in the urban area of ​​London, and the low-income people are relatively concentrated. The crime rate in this area is higher than the London average, and the average life expectancy of residents is about 5 years lower than the London average.

As long as there is a street riot there, it can quickly spread to the whole of London and turn London into a street battlefield. It is not alarmist, because it has already happened once.

Everyone present knows how many employment opportunities a new stadium costing 600 million pounds can provide. Under the financial turmoil, the government has implemented fiscal austerity policies, greatly cut social benefits, and the economy is very sluggish. The 'bastards' have food to eat and money to make as long as they don't cause trouble thank God!

When it is really decided, the efficiency of the British is still very high. In fact, it is understandable that the efficiency is low because they spend all their time and energy on bullshit and nonsense.

"I heard that you are going to hold a frugal Olympic Games?" Andy and Boris were drinking black tea on the sofa in the conference room lounge area, smiling and chatting softly, while their subordinates were working out various agreement details, the United Kingdom The rigor of people is also very famous.

"Forget it, Schett, if we had known what we know now, believe me, London would never have applied. I have cut 1.5 billion pounds in engineering costs during this time. We now have no choice but to Can continue to organize the Olympic Games. Prime Minister Brown tried to stimulate consumption to get out of the recession, and I can only see the huge cost of organizing the Olympic Games as part of it.

To be honest, I really envy the Chinese people, they are so rich, and those damn London media are bragging that it will be more exciting than the Beijing Olympics. Fuck it, where am I going to get 20 billion pounds! "

Andy looked at this big-mouthed, nonsense-loving Boris with some surprises, and couldn't help being a little impressed. This guy is really courageous. He dared to pick up the financial butcher's knife to cut the budget as soon as he came to power. This is a very risky thing, after all The Olympic Games are full of attention, and if they mess up when the time comes, they will undoubtedly be making fun of their own future.

"Do you want to hear how to make all the athletes praise the London Olympics happily?" Andy leaned forward, with a strange expression on his face, raised eyebrows and smirked and lowered his voice jokingly.

"Oh?" Boris' eyes lit up, he leaned forward and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"Hehe, this is not my idea. Although the Chinese Olympic Games were held very successfully, there is one thing that most athletes complain about. It is that no small raincoats are provided, and the management of the Olympic Village is very strict. You know, for the athletes For me, this is a world-class party held every four years, ha ha." Andy raised an eyebrow at Boris, with a look you know, and smirked.

"Haha, that's how it is!" Boris also laughed. He is not an Olympic athlete, so how could he know the tricks in it, "Damn it, it's great. I should invite a new company to provide small raincoats. Everyone has felt the personal touch of our London Olympic Committee! Thank you Andy, your suggestion was so timely. I will tell the media that it was your idea..."

"puff"

Andy almost spit out the black tea in his mouth. Looking at Boris with a smirk on his face, he felt an urge to strangle him to death. He laughed and scolded angrily, "If you dare to mess around, I'll throw it away!" Gloves, duel with you!"

"Hehe, let's get down to business. Your construction period needs to be accelerated. If possible, I will make it possible for the Olympic football final to be held at the New White Hart Lane." Boris lowered his voice and promised Andy in a low voice.

"You guy, you really know how to calculate. Well, I still have to thank you, I appreciate it." Andy shook his head and smiled. Boris, this guy is going to put his achievements in the new stadium on his head. However, there is nothing wrong with it. This guy played a big role in the completion of the new stadium project. Otherwise, it would be impossible to get the grant from the financially strained London City Government.

"Hehe, this is a win-win situation for us. In this way, the London Olympic Committee has added a new venue. I think I will cut down the 1.5 billion pounds, and the pressure will be less."

"Tsk tsk, then our Tottenham club should also receive funding from the Olympic Committee?"

"Damn it, 30 million has already been taken, how much more do you want!"

"That's government funding for renovation, and it has nothing to do with the Olympic Committee, right?"

"You greedy bastard..."

"You have to pay a little. After all, it is to support your construction work for the London Olympics. If you use our club's venues, you should pay some rent no matter what. This is common sense!"

"God, you are one of the top ten richest people in Forbes in the world, can you be interested in such a small amount of money?"

"A few million pounds is not a small amount of money, and your duke even has to bargain for that kind of money..."

"Ahem, just pretend I didn't say it!" Boris hurriedly interrupted when he heard that Andy was going to make fun of the Duke, coughed to cover up, and said angrily.
